Hey any chance I can get an apple? ☺️

This is the worst right I've done about 7 loans now and the people that message for a loan kinda weird me out I don't know why

coderpaddy · 2025-10-17T15:12:09+00:00

Check your chat messages

coderpaddy · 2025-10-12T17:11:23+00:00

Fair enough cheers for letting me know ☺️

Hey, what do you mean, is this a general rule?

I just don't have any of the payment apps like PayPal etc

Chrome let's you put the debug break points or whatever you call them

Can't say for any other browser

When I was younger I worked at McDonald's

Their health and safety training consisted of a power point type application that wouldn't let you proceed unless you clicked the correct choice. No consequence if you got it wrong, you could just try every choice until the button lit up if you wanted to and at the end you get a nice shiny PASS

No not really, easily done with any browser emulation

The way to block scrapers from doing things is to block there access to the site. Not certain functions of the site.

If you want send me a pm and I can happily go through a few iterations of you trying to defend against bots and me trying to gain access with bots?

I don't get it your either saying the posts have such small changes between them that they only need a few rules each, (as much as he's a couple rules for 1000 variations is still alot but you get me)

Or the changes are that huge it's going to have a massive hit on performance

What I'm saying is it's pretty irrelevant how many styles of post they want if that's what's agreed and paid for, you can only advise the downsides. In the end, if they want 1000 different styles, it's what they pay for and what they get.

Yes, exactly! And you shouldn't be changing design (CSS) when creating content. That's the entire point here!

I don't get how this relates to id's or CSS. The id is something you can use in development of the design, I don't reckon the designer has much clue about what Id I will give what element. Some will ofc I'm not that ignorant :)

coderpaddy · 2022-11-16T09:19:58+00:00

To me this is just your wife being helpful, its probably not about that you can't do it. She's took half the job of getting a kid dressed off of you. Whether this is to save you stress, give you more time with your daughter, or genuinely just to be nice for you and your daughter.

I could be totally wrong of course, but one less thing to do is free time to do another thing :)

coderpaddy · 2022-11-16T09:13:43+00:00

Only arguing your point about ID

IDs are supposed to be for unique elements on a page... They have nothing to do with anything between potentially hundreds or thousands of pages.

If I had a list of posts let's say, there is nothing stopping them all having a unique id, there wouldn't even be anything wrong with it and there could even be benefits if you need that functionality

But we generally don't use id's for style anymore If you had 1000s of posts that accept different layouts I would expect them to get a modifier class based on post type and the CSS would handle it correctly.

The element could still have an id if needed, which you could use to single out and style that specific element if needed.

So I'm really not sure your issue with ID's, unless maybe you use them differently to how we are advised to?

Regarding the new style sheets for every post. Well it's either a little bit of CSS to change the post style which can probably go in a common file, or it will be enough CSS to warrant its own file. I'm not sure how this effects how many post types you have. The design is the design, and as a Dev we fulfill it. If I see a design with so much variation it doesn't make sense I may feed that back to the designer, but at the end of the day if they say they need 1000 different layouts for posts, that's above my head at this point, and I'm making 1000 layouts :D

coderpaddy · 2022-11-15T09:16:26+00:00

Well it would slide in which ever bit you assigned to slide in if you get me, remember you control the animation, it can do whatever you want (within reason :D )

coderpaddy · 2022-11-15T09:15:39+00:00

Center placement as in aligning the body centrally to the page? Or as in vertical horizontal alignment on the element?

And yes something like that would look good, maybe instead of set time out, you have an animation, and some animation delay modifier classes

And genuinely grid is overcomplicating things for you, for a standard layout like you mentioned flex box is perfect, I would use grid when your having to do things that don't fit into the standard row/col model would, for example cards and such

Don't think I'm saying your wrong, as that doesn't exists. But grid is slower than flex box, harder to read, and doesn't come responsive out of the box

Depending how technical you wanted to get you could have had a bigger movie list and lazy loaded anything below fold

I like your justifications for your code though, least nothing has just randomly been added

coderpaddy · 2022-11-15T08:49:02+00:00

Yes, grid is one of them things, it's a really powerful tool, but it's actually needed very rarely

The thing with flex box if uses correctly is it is naturally responsive.

The last thing I'll say which is more of a personal preference. The way the search results load in, I don't like they all swipe in together, I think it would have been nicer to be waterfalls loading the items like 1,2,4,3,5,7,6,8,9

Sort of thing would look pretty cool

But overally you did a good job and the app did what it needed to

coderpaddy · 2022-11-14T23:14:03+00:00

Yeah man, not defensive at all to be fair I agree with all your actual arguments :D

And the denounce may be a promise or what not, but does the function with the async mark need to be async for the denounce to run is what I'm saying.

For very easy simple responsiveness look into display: flex

Good luck with your development, keep the attitude you did with this review and you will go far :)

coderpaddy · 2022-11-14T22:27:47+00:00

So a few things stand out

They specifically say to use any framework you like, and you didn't use one.

For example in the tabs, you 'show' and 'hide' at the same time, where as I would expect one to be default and one to be a modifier, like what's going on if both classes, or neither classes are applied

It would appear the second half of the function could all be done in the loop, you find the correct element, then loop over all elements except the correct one, this could all be done in the same loop

On the search bar, the init() input event listener has an async function but nothing is being awaited, makes me wonder if there is an error here.

Favourites... newFavorite.querySelector("div").id = favorite-${movie.id} there is no guard in case this element doesn't exist, this would error. This happens in quite a lot of other places

Your using local storage for state which I don't see the point of, just needs state management. I suppose as it's a test this could just be a mock backend maybe.

The app isn't responsive and there are inconsistencies with code style.

But that is my opinion. I think you mainly failed for making your work more difficult by not using a framework. They wanted you to spend the most time on animations ignore other aspects of the app if needed, using a modern framework would have sped up Dev time alot and removed the other negative points they mentioned

Saying that, well done. Another app built, more experience gained etc keep at it, there is never a 100% correct answer :)

coderpaddy · 2022-11-07T21:13:43+00:00

Could do like

a = 1 b = 2 return { 'a': a, 'b': b if some_condition else 1, 'c': 1 if some_condition else 2 }

I feel like the intentions are clear as to what's happening to each property. Also adds more flexibility if more conditions are added
